Can't believe you went there lol. In fact there is plenty of conclusive evidence that proves Santa does not exist. Take one look at the north pole, Watch every home security camera feeds on chrismas eve, try to make a raindeer "fly" in the sense that they are meant to according to myth,(not launch them via cannon haha). just to name a few but those are conclusive scientific methods that easily prove Santa does NOT, in fact, exist.

Earth is more or less a playground for controlled scientific experiments. Everything that happens here on the planet, we have reasonable access to applying the necessary tools to prove or disprove a hypothesis. At least, certainly enough to disprove something as easily non-tangible as Santa.

Because we already established that IF he exists(God), that he does so outside the current known universe. Alternate dimension, parallel universe, or heaven take your pic they are all the same. At the very least, the description of Heaven and the definition of an alternate dimension meet the exact same criteria.

Indeed. Ad hoc hypothesizing allows you to prevent your desired hypothesis from being falsified as long as you want to.

Operative word = known.

Beats me how and why people can know so much about something they know nothing of and write a book about that and expect other people to take them seriously.

Even more amazing is why other people have taken them seriously.

And depressing that they then abuse their power over their next generations to convince them of the truth of these unknown things.

Fucking sad.

Maybe higher standards are expected of future journos ... the guardians of the truth!
